Comparing brain activity in real vs. virtual reality hand tasks
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how your brain works when you do hand tasks in real life compared to in a virtual reality headset. It may help us understand how virtual reality can be used in therapy or training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a virtual reality system to help improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. You can use the system at home with a therapist's guidance, using a TV monitor or VR headset.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can improve hand coordination and daily activities for people with multiple sclerosis. If you have trouble using your hands due to MS, this study may help.
This study explores how people perceive the space around their affected arm or hand after a condition called 'exclusion' (partial loss of awareness or use). It uses virtual reality to test this, which might lead to better therapies.
This study uses a virtual reality game controlled by brain activity to help children with cerebral palsy improve arm and hand movement. It also includes typically developing children to see how the game works for everyone.
This study compares three types of exercises (using both hands, finger movements, and virtual reality) in people with mild memory loss to see which helps thinking and memory best.
This trial tests whether using a brain-computer interface (a device that reads your brain signals) combined with virtual reality can help improve movement problems caused by a functional neurological disorder. It may offer a new way to retrain your brain and body.
